Christmas is Coming!

If you have kids in school, then there's always special "Christmas Performances" of bands, choirs and symphonies. Now that I have relatives here, I get to go to there performances too. My niece is in a homeschool choir and below is her group--she's the dark one on the front row. It was cute.




However, I seriously loathe, despise, possibly hate, the cold weather and its been colder than normal this year--though today is in the 70's. It was national news but I'm finally sharing my story of the rare snowfall that hit Houston a few weeks ago. At first I was lamenting the fact that I promised to go to my neice's choir performance in Kingwood--45 minutes East, but I got a lot better snow experience that way. The snow really didn't stick in my neck of the woods, but it did in Kingwood for a short afternoon. Here's the pic while driving there. The whole time I'm like incredulous saying "I can't believe this! I can't believe it! This just doesn't happen here!" It was surreal.




Beautiful, eh? And inside it was site to behold as well.




The choir performance was great, but it was at a huge nativity centered display at an LDS church--a better decorated cultural hall I never have seen--literally hundrends of private owned nativity scenes on display. Afterwards we all dressed the part. Here I am in shepard attire.



And here's our whole gang--Matt a wise man, holding angel Mason, then Kalani as Mary, Tia, me, angle Jaedyn, Makana and Matt's brother, Drew, another wise man, visiting from CA.



Except Caleb would have no part of costumes or pictures--so you'll just have to imagine his little stubborn 3-year old self--though he happily partook of the cookies!
